Drama about animal (3)
I believe the answer is:
ram
'animal' is the definition.
(male sheep)
'drama about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'RAM' is hidden in the letters of 'drama'.
(Other definitions for ram that I've seen before include "The constellation Aries" , "Male sheep - bash into it" , "With violence" , "farm animal" , "Drive hard" .)
